Looking back, Michaela still thought it was a very bold decision of a young person but she is now very happy studying at the college: “Here I’m learning a lot about creativity and getting insights into fashion.

All of the students get careful considerations from the lecturers and progress quickly on each course unit.”

Ms. Laura Ann Hardingham - Program Leader in Fashion & Textiles emphasized that: “The uniqueness in our training program is that we equip the students with the holistic understanding about the whole progress of the fashion industry from idea development to production and marketing.” This could be the reason why so many international and Vietnamese students choose London College for Design and Fashion - Hanoi to be the place for them to achieve their dreams.
